It's shocking to me how many of the people commenting here are ignoring the text of the actual story that accompanied the photo. First of all, the photographer was running towards the train trying to use his flash to alert the conductor, which the conductor later said he could see but could do nothing about. Second, after the accident, there was a doctor on scene that did all she could to save the man. It's not like he stood around shooting and submitted a portfolio of photos from the incident (although that would have been reasonable for a photographer to do)...this is likely just the most clear photo from what came out of him running and pressing the shutter button of his camera.
